Blackford and Grange Parish Cburch of Seotland, Edinburgh SC009338 Trusteesg Annual eport Year ended 31 December 2025 Investment Policy and Performance Investments are held in order to provide an income stream froln dividend5 received All of our investments are held in the Church of Scot]and Investois Trust, deeined to be low Tisk. About 400/0 by value of our investment Is held in the Income FL￿d and 600/0 in the Growth Fund. If large legacies are received. they are invested in the Chiirch of Scotland Inv¢stors Trust until they are utilised. Risk Management There is a risk associated with a large d¢ficit which could occur as the resuli of lower income andlor Encreas¢d costs. The Trustees are amiare that one of the principal risks is an aging congregatiott. One of th¢ associated risks is a n¢gatt"v¢ iinpact on ordinary offerings. Members of th¢ congregation are encouraged to ensure that they sAgn up to the Gift Aid scheme and everyone Is &sked to review their offerings at)nually as well as being thanked for their conlributions. It would be prudent to diversify income sources (at present offerings, donations. Tental income, dÈvidend income and cal"é income) by applying for grants or fundraising to allow iinprovements to the church and church halls to go ahead. Expenditure is strictly controlle and the Trustees receive regular updates on the latest financial position. There is a risk of a reduction inthe value of investments held. This rÉsk depends on the financial markets. Any surplus in funds or large legacies aTe investsd in th¢ Church of Scotland IrÉvestors Trusts that are designed to protect andlor gTOW capital and g¢n¢rate incom¢. Succession planning is also potentially difficult given the ageing congregation and the possibility of future inembeTship reducing. It is important to encourage and nurture new tslent and to persuade individuals to donate what Ihey can of their time and lalents. Ther¢ ne¢d5 to be missional work across all ag¢ groups to encourag¢ broadening ot"m¢mb¢rship and increased participation. The Trustees hope to appoint an Under 25s Worker to build upon this and other initiatives. Succession planning may include unions with other congregations. It 15 possible that any adverse publicity wouId affect the ability of th¢ Chuwh to deliv¢r its stated aims. such as outreach. There is a robust governance structure. at congregationa]. Presbytery and national chur¢h levels. A safetruarding otficLr has been appointed and there is a sinall safeguarding panel. Training for Trustees and other persons is Cdrried oiit as required and updated every three )Jears. Use is inade of centrally provided resource5. There might bc a risk of another pandemic. All lessons and skills learnt (for exajnple online stieamTng of services) during the Covid pandemic need to be updated and ieviewed on a regular basis. The website and the online offerings (such as Bible study} should be regularly updated. Websites require constant maintenance to be appealTng and useful and must contain relevant inforniation in a readily accessible formaL BRaelrford and Grange Parish Church of Seotlgnd, EdinbuTgh SC009338 Trustees, Annual Report Year ended 31 December 2025 Reserve Policy The charity trltstees have considered th¢ resfflv¢s required and have taken into account their current and future liabilitif%.
